I'd appreciate it, too.

Onwards. *Makes a random portal and beckons us through into empty space, once again with atmospheric bubbles; the next attempt does not fail and we collect the next Codex without exceptional resistance* One after the other. *We go from Codex to Codex, at a rough average of three portals between each*

@Disdain

*Follows*

*With some difficulty, we manage to collect the rest of the entourage, leaving most of them at Aphrodite's mansion to sulk and returning there with each Codex* Abel, next. He's the last one. Is there still a 100% chance?

@Disdain

No. This "Abel" seems to be the exception.

@Threads of Fate

None of us have ever met him personally. Perhaps you can manipulate the probability that my portals lead us to him?

@Disdain

Am I missing something here?

... It seems he will make himself available without needing to do that. We can return now.

@Threads of Fate

*Grumbles* I dislike when he does that. He should come here physically like the rest of us. *Opens a portal back to Aphrodite's mansion, where the Codex mill about, grumbling*

@Disdain

Some kind of mystical Codex thing you never told me?

@Dynamics

Honestly, I have no idea what's going on.

@Disdain

Everyone! There is information that you need. I watched as one of you attempted to share it, but there was interference. Preventing that, it is imperative that you all understand what's going to happen, and what has happened already.

*The Codex give general expressions of distaste for listening to somebody they don't know, but together acknowledge that you are a Codex with the powers Ma'at explained and that you can probably be trusted; they slowly quiet down*

@Disdain

I think you'll find that I can make several more concessions than I once could.

@Disdain

History as you know it is incorrect. I will be here to answer any questions you may have. The important part, to begin with, is that you may notice your powers no longer work the way they did before. But that is a misnomer, they are now working the way they actually did before, which is different from how you have been using them. It's also important for you to know what has now become the recent history of our home dimension.

@System

I'm surprised. Well, just because Seth was stubborn doesn't mean I have to expect you to be.

@Disdain

You should.

@System

Ooookay then. I'll expect it.

@Disdain

Given the purpose of this gathering, it may or may not be premature to assume I've won, but I'll save you the discussion until after the proceedings have concluded.

Recently, the combination of the NAN Sector and the rest of Existence has finalized. This was the reason for Yander's plan to recreate the original Trigger and restore it to the Original Generator, something you all have likely forgotten. Unfortunately, being at it when it happened resulted in the loss of two of us, Yander and Mikial. Regardless of this, the split that occurred in the first place has resulted in two versions of history. The combination of the two has resulted in the history I'm from becoming the true history, in layman's terms. There's more to this, of course, but that's the basis you need to understand.

In this history, the was a species-wide war between Codi. We all were dragged into it, though you Codex as always remained elsewhere. Eventually, however, we all gained Codex powers. This made the war very... different. There were two main factions in the end, and the leaders of the two are now setting their sights on the rest of Existence. When Baphumet killed two of us, I and another became Codex. That brings us to now.

*Appears behind Xirqiae-Ulthar*
That's right, little Codex~ It's tempting to simply be rid of you now, but where's the fun in that? Now that Azy is gone... Well, the idea of her becoming a Codex is slightly alarming. So I'll leave you free for now. But know this: There will come a time when you must choose to join me, or perish. See ya~
